    Hello (New to forums)

    I have used this program to convert about six movies. And for each movie when playing the finished DVD it will skip frames but only in scenes where the camera is panning. Has anyone else experienced this and knows how to get around it?
    Is it because i keep changing the output DVD to PAL? I am pretty sure source DIVX is more than likely NTSC.
    Thanks in advance

    It's pretty complicated when it comes to burn quality. Some people here use DVDSanta all the time and are completely satisfied with it. Many would say burn quality has more to do with media. I use DVDSanta from time to time, and have found that the burn results are less 'solid' than e.g. Nero. So what I'll sometimes do is to transcode with DVDSanta but burn with Nero.

    Hello
    Thank you for the reply but i have found that the stuttering is present when the file is converted and on my hard drive before i have even burn it to disc. I have tried TMPGEnc recently and have found this program to be an absolute pain and it doesn't get rid of the the stuttering effects either and it takes 16 hours on highest quality. I guess I will have to stick to watching these movies on my PC.
    Thanks for your help

    Well, if this only happens with DVDSanta, then there are two more things that you may try:
    1) use another transcoding program (e.g. VSO DivxToDVD)
    2) change the codec of the avis to something that DVDSanta likes (e.g. video to XViD, and audio to Mpeg Layer 3).
    Good luck!
